Summertime in Sparta!

My plan was to update my faithful readers with frequent improvements and changes to our new house. Well As you can tell that has not happened but maybe sometime soon. The house is coming along really good. Of course from our last blog we have a new dining room table with China Hutch but also we have added a snazzy living room Suit that has got us set for furniture for awhile. I must say it looks pretty good. The cats have had to live with adjusting to life in the garage while we are not home in attempts to keep the furniture scratch free. So far it has gone pretty good but they are starting to learn to run from us because they know we are coming to lock them in the garage. In other house news, after about 150 bucks in fertilizer and lots of TLC our yard is looking more like a yard. It still has some spots that are barren but the back yard has become the new Home for Heady National Golf Club. Over the last month or so Tara has been freakishly busy with a two week compacted summer class and now in a more conventional month long summer class. Both of these with the goal of finishing next spring. My life tends to vary very little...People are still sick and complain alot. But my home life has brought on a new addiction. Gunbroker.com has brought me and ryan much happiness over the last few weeks. Ever since we got our gun carry permit we have been using the line "now i just need a gun to carry" We both have had our eyes on the Ruger LCP for a few months but after calls to Bass pro, gander mountain, academy and the Outdoor Junction we realized that we were on the trail of the hottest gun on the market. We quickly turned to our friend Gunbroker which is basically an Ebay for guns. The sight had an amazingly large amount of Rugers and then the chase was on. Last Friday we bite the bullet ( "rimshot" where are you at smitty?) and ordered two of the little Jewels. To our delight they came in today and we ventured over to the Outdoor Junction which I highly recommend if you live in the Cookeville/Sparta area. After a quick background check and checking of the father/baby arm bands we were able to take our new loved one home. The ride home to sparta quickly took us down to Hutchings College to try out our new purchace. We were certainly not dissappointed and also took this time to fire off some much cheaper .22 LR rounds. I have attached a few photos I snapped tonight to give you an idea of how small this gun really is. The second picture is of my regular 9mm pistol. I will leave you with these pictures and promise to update our blog with new house pics or to our flicker page.
